Chapter 184: Nalan Yanran Gives Birth!
Ordinarily, advancing from the peak of Dou Wang to Dou Huang would not involve such a frantic absorption of the energy of heaven and earth.
However, Chen Feng, with his Dragon Elephant Body and the powerful thunder body tempering he experienced within the Thunder Wing, has a body that is far stronger than ordinary magical beasts. The energy required for advancement is naturally not something ordinary people can compare to.
Most importantly, the Swallowing Yuan Jue that Chen Feng cultivates is a high-level heavenly technique, which is very domineering.
On the Dou Qi Continent, the gap between techniques brings about a significant impact.
Firstly, the total amount of Dou Qi contained in the Qi Vortex. If two people are at the same level of cultivation, but one cultivates a Xuan-level technique [Earth Level] and the other cultivates a Tian-level technique [Heaven Level], then the person who cultivates the Tian-level technique will undoubtedly have far superior combat endurance than the former.
[T/L: Tian – Heaven, Xuan – Earth]
Secondly, there is a difference in the quality of Dou Qi. Under the same level, if a person who cultivates a Tian-level technique needs to expend a unit of Dou Qi, then a person who cultivates a Xuan-level technique needs to expend tens or even hundreds of times more Dou Qi to possibly achieve the same results as the former.
Thirdly, the efficiency of absorbing the energy of heaven and earth and refining Dou Qi during cultivation.
If two people want to absorb the same amount of Dou Qi energy, then the person who cultivates the Tian-level technique may only need ten minutes, while the Xuan-level technique requires a hundred minutes.
Fourthly, during combat, a person who cultivates a Xuan-level technique can never drive Dou Qi as smoothly and quickly as a person who cultivates a Tian-level technique.
For all these reasons, it is clear why good techniques are regarded as the most important thing by countless people on the Dou Qi Continent.
The higher the level of the technique cultivated, the greater the benefits it brings. Therefore, countless strong people, in order to obtain those high-level techniques, can be said to be coming one after another.
Sometimes, even if they know they are like moths to a flame, they are willing to be devoured by the flames.
Chen Feng cultivates a high-level Tian technique. His foundation at the Dou Huang level will be much stronger than ordinary Dou Huang. This point is of vital importance for advancing to a higher level in the future.
At this moment, above the cave, the colorful energy vortex in mid-air is slowly rotating, and the energy of heaven and earth around it is constantly being drawn over. Many magical beasts in the mountains sensed this strange scene.
However, under the faint pressure emanating from the cave, even if they discovered it, they dared not approach it. They only dared to wander far away on the periphery. Moreover, under that pervasive pressure, they dared not make too loud a roar, for fear of disturbing the existence inside that they were extremely afraid of.
As time passed, the plants near Chen Feng's retreat also grew wildly under the influence of the rich energy, making the surroundings appear somewhat desolate. Only the huge, colorful energy vortex in mid-air was releasing some vitality.
Until the twentieth day of Chen Feng's retreat, there was finally a slight change from the usual. Only to see the huge energy vortex in the sky that was slowly rotating suddenly gradually stopped rotating.
Then, the majestic energy poured down like a torrential rain, and finally turned into a huge energy whip like a mountain flood, directly falling into the cave.
This large energy whip cut through mid-air, and even the air emitted a sharp tearing sound. From this, it can be seen how huge the energy contained in this whip is.
Under such a huge energy tilt, the nearby wild grass valley that was originally growing wildly suddenly withered at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it was all withered and yellow, and the cave entrance filled with rubble slowly emerged.
At this point, the huge energy vortex in mid-air completely dissipated, and the violently fluctuating energy of heaven and earth around it gradually returned to normal. Looking at this situation, the energy needed for Chen Feng's advancement has reached saturation.
Inside the cave, Chen Feng's closed eyes also opened at this moment. A pair of pitch-black pupils suddenly swept across like a thunderstorm, and at that moment, even the air in the dull cave emitted a faint crackling sound.
As this pair of eyes with lightning opened, a majestic breath suddenly awakened.
Under this breath, which was several times stronger than before, the cave appeared to tremble slightly. A series of cracks as thick as arms spread out like a spider web from under the green lotus where Chen Feng was sitting, eventually covering every corner of the cave.
"I've finally stepped into Dou Huang!"
Chen Feng slowly spread his hands, feeling the majestic Dou Qi in his body that was like a flood, and a faint curve overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Although he had felt a stronger power before using the Dou Zong experience card, it was never as real as it is now.
"Congratulations to the master for successfully breaking through to Dou Huang!"
In the corner of the cave, Yao Chen's soul, who had been quietly waiting for twenty days, congratulated Chen Feng very excitedly. The movement of Chen Feng's breakthrough was still the only one Yao Chen had ever seen in his life.
"Yao Chen, how long have I been in retreat this time?"
Chen Feng nodded slightly and asked.
"Master, you have been in retreat for a total of only twenty days. This is the shortest time I have ever seen for a breakthrough to Dou Huang!" Yao Chen replied respectfully.
"Twenty days, it actually took twenty days!"
Hearing Yao Chen's reply, Chen Feng gently shook his head, obviously not satisfied with this time.
"Let's go back!"
Calculating the time, Nalan Yanran was about to give birth, and Chen Feng quickly rushed back to the palace after breaking through to Dou Huang.
…
Seven days after returning to the palace, early in the morning, Chen Feng was anxiously waiting outside a room.
Also anxious like Chen Feng were his other wives, Yun Yun, Ya Fei, and Xiao YiXian, who was formally taken into the house a few days ago.
"Madam, it's almost time, push hard!"
"Ah!"
Inside the room, the midwife's voice and Nalan Yanran's shouts constantly tugged at Chen Feng's heart.
He was pacing back and forth, his heart was up and down, nervous, expectant, excited, all kinds of emotions filled his heart.
"Feng'er, don't worry too much, Yan Ran has been prepared for a long time, everything will go smoothly!" Seeing Chen Feng's reaction, Yun Yun comforted softly.
"Madam, push harder, it's already halfway out!"
"Ah…"
Listening to the movement in the room, even if Yun Yun comforted him, Chen Feng was still very anxious and couldn't calm down.
"Wah…woo"
However, the next moment, with a loud cry of a baby, this oppressive atmosphere was finally broken.
"It's born, the madam has given birth! It's a little prince!"
In the excited shout of the midwife, Chen Feng had already pushed open the door and quickly walked to Nalan Yanran's bedside.
